That legislation is Bill C-59, which would require companies to provide evidence to back up their environmental claims. It is currently awaiting royal assent.

As of Thursday, it was also what led the Pathways Alliance, a consortium of Canada's largest oilsands companies, to remove all its content from its website, social media and other public communications.

My non-legal reading puts BC Hydro's latest natrual gas ad at odds with it.

They not only call it "not a fossil fuel" but also claim its a "renewable resource."

Yep, that sounds like misrepresentation... Regardless of whether this amendment passes.

I guess the exception being compost derived methane / biogas?

Except most of BCs natural gas is extracted, not biofuel.
